Going into this season, I'll admit that I'm worried about the lack of immediate news regarding the match viewer, but I'm also excited for the prospect of a game that actually has realistic three point shooting percentages (though I doubt the volume of threes will reach modern levels without a larger GE change).

B3 is likely to expose just how far behind I still am on a global scale, but early results suggest my previous season wasn't a fluke so I don't want to rush into any major roster changes yet. Big 8 is still far more likely to produce the ABBL champion, however.

I did chuckle looking at Efforfred's roster just now.

I already feel totally exposed. Last season I went 7-1 in the qualifying rounds, then suffered an injury to Omu that meant I had no chance in the elimination stage. This season's first game, I got brushed aside like I was NOTHING by Upsyndrome, the guy who has won NBBA about a million times. Sure I got GDP wrong, but he was running Motion into a 3-2 zone under the old GE (I assume, we haven't switched yet even in B3, right?).

On a related note, if anyone has seen Ervin Whitney, can you please let the authorities know, we currently have a missing persons report lodged and are desperately seeking information on his whereabouts, we do have concerns for his safety. The imposter that took Whitney's place in my lineup last night has been arrested and has been denied bail.

@Coach Steed, why laugh at Efforfred's roster? Is it because he has much lower salary than most teams? It's his first time in ABBL - and he may not have even been expecting it either, as he was the auto-promotee with the best record, he didn't win his league. It's a pretty cool accomplishment to make it to the ABBL in the first place, hopefully he sticks around to give it a good crack, whether it's this time around or he needs to yo-yo down and up again to be competitive (don't worry, a lot of us have had to do that).

Good luck this season to everyone, I'm also excited to see the new changes. I think overall they slightly hurt me more than they help me, but overall it should improve the game.

Correction: Upsyndrome has only won NBBA a few times. Not sure why I remembered it in my head as a lot more than it was? Anyways, very strong American team obviously, but I didn't think he was so much stronger that he'd easily win in a blowout against me. Crazy stuff.

Just one of his player's names was funny.

I was only checking because he got a victory on rimmers.

;)

I'm happy with the changes. Will throw a lot of people's LI/LP tactics out a bit maybe. I guess we'll see, though.

Just noticed Kai Hongfa set a new record for 80 points in the ABBL. My crappy backup PG had held that title for decades in BB time. I remember at the time there was some anger that such a bad player had set it in a tanking game. Took a b3 champion to knock him off, shouldn't be any complaints now :D

I'm probably still one more season away from a serious ABBL challenge here. So my main goal this season would be to get Laga'aia his first national team cap, which should happen at some point despite our nation being relatively deep at the SF spot right now. Beyond that, hopefully I can at least avoid going 0-8 in the B3 despite my draw of doom XD
